Arrived on a Sunday afternoon to meet friends. Was told they had not booked in yet. My friends who had arrived were then told we had not booked in. They stayed in main hotel and we were put in the west wing. No air-con. Not ideal. Paid for a sea view got a garden view. Went down to dinner, had... More

Stayed in the hotel one night for a wedding. The hotel staff, from reception through catering are very friendly, professional and helpful. Nightly rates at the hotel are very reasonable. We stay in a lot of hotels, worldwide on a yearly basis, and this hotel ranks amongst the best. For me, hotel and room cleanliness are a must, as is... More

My husband and I fell in love with the Chine after coming here three years ago for our anniversary and have been coming back several times a year since for weekend breaks. We returned with great excitement in Nov 2011 for our regular birthday treat and were completely dissapointed. The staff were rude at the front desk and completely unhelpful... More

I can honestly say this is the most friendly, accommodating hotel I have ever stayed in. On arrival at reception you are hit with the wow factor. The reception staff were just fantastic and nothing was ever too much trouble for any of them. We were on the 3rd floor so had to take the lift. What a blast from... More

Managed to book a two night stay at this hotel for the duration of my friend's wedding. It proved to be a wonderful experience kick started with a relaxing time in the pool and outdoor hot tub! The room was comfortable with a nice fresh en-suite, and the staff were friendly and helpful! Would love to go back some time... More

Reception staff most cheerful and accommodating. Lovely room with a view and gorgeous surroundings, perfect for a one night. Swimming pool and jacuzzi well kept and a great opportunity to relax. There was a wedding going on during the day which extended into the evening making it very noisy downstairs well into the wee hours. The dining room was exceptionally... More

The whole long weekend was a good one from check-in to check-out - though not perfect. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The room was lovely, clean and modern. The bed was very comfortable. The pools were fine and breakfast was OK. The only thing that let it down was a poor dinner on the Saturday night. Does it... More

Stayed over easter for a family get together. Room was dated but clean. Did not have evening meal but breakfast on the first morning was below average. Quite noisy with a lot of door banging. Lovely view but for £273 for 2 nights I expected that. Breakfast on the second morning was better but nothing to write home about. Won't... More

We stayed for 2 nights in the Easter holidays with our 6 year old daughter. The hotel is lovely and we had the most fantastic view from our room. The outdoor pool was amazing. it was like a bath. I even went in and it was only about 11 degrees outside! I really have never come across such friendly staff.... More
